President Donald Trump told ABC News if Iran doesn't make a peace deal in the next 48 hours, "we're blowing up the whole country."

Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, “we’re blowing up the entire country.”

The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News’ senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.

Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.

    No longer does the country collectively agree to push forward on war. Now it’s just one guy who triggers very easily. WTF!?

      Could you imagine if a female was president. Just running everything on feelings and emotions.

      It’s not just 1 guy, it’s most of the current administration. And 84% of the people that voted for Trump, still stand by their vote!!

        I think your math is old. Trump is the least popular potus ever across all population sectors now.

          I keep hearing this and I also keep reading how those same people who now think he’s unpopular, also voted for him 3 times and would vote for him again.

            You have to take into consideration that the dumbest people are often the loudest- what we’re seeing is a equivalent of the village idiots screaming while throwing shit around the room because they’re afraid of losing the space they’ve carved out on social media. These are the dumbest humans on the entire planet- less resourceful and less intelligent than ancient neanderthals. They exist solely to pull the human race down, and the fact that their comments are often rife with the worst takes you’ve ever seen and some of the worst grammar possible is a testament to their functional illiteracy. They can read and write, but they’re wholly incapable of rational and intelligent thought.

          Have the day you voted for got as a result of election rigging.

          And I don’t say this as a “sore loser”. I say that trump rigged the 2024 election, because in August/September/October of 2024, trump had been saying repeatedly that he rigged the upcoming election.

          Then towards October he was saying there won’t be a need for any more elections. That it was fixed so hard that he’s already the president forever.

          Now, lack of fundamental understanding of mortality aside, he’s essentially admitted that he’s corrupted our government from the inside.

          And you know the fucked up part? He won’t face consequences. If someone in a position to change things finds evidence, that evidence won’t be released until the year 2100. They only released the JFK files last year. He’ll be long dead by the time anyone comes out and says there was a corrupt election.

          He’s so unpopular, he can start a war on twatter while shitting, and the whole country happily does what he wants no question asked.
